Did Ibanez just make the PERFECT metal guitar?
My friends,
After two years of dreaming, testing, and building alongside the amazing team at Ibanez, I’m beyond excited to finally share my signature guitar with you: the BER10. This project was never just about me - it’s about creating the ultimate modern instrument for all of us who push guitar playing to the edge and beyond.
🎸 Why this guitar is different
We completely redesigned the playing area under the strings - no knobs or switches getting in the way - so you have total freedom for both open-handed and closed-handed picking.
With the help of your feedback from Patreon and YouTube, we tested hundreds of necks until we found the perfect shape and radius. The Oval C Roasted Maple neck feels like it was built for fast scale runs, complex chords, and effortless tapping.
🔊 The sound you’ve been asking for
Together with Fishman, we created brand-new custom pickups that balance clarity, punch, and versatility like nothing else I’ve played.
Between the 5-way selector and push-pull Fluence voicing switch, you’ve got a whole universe of tones - from crushing distortion to pristine math-rock cleans.
✨ Signature look & feel
A sleek flat black body with striking white accents and a shiny black pickguard.
The return of Ibanez’s iconic reverse sharktooth inlays.
My personal logo on the headstock - a small stamp of authenticity after years of work.
This is, without question, the most versatile and inspiring guitar I’ve ever touched. And it exists because of you - your feedback, your support, and this incredible community.
👉 You can now get the BER10 at your favorite dealer. I truly believe it will take your playing, tone, and creativity to the next level.
From Los Angeles - thank you, and I can’t wait to hear what you create with it.

Welll... you don't argue about taste... but this guitar really doesn't look great to me ^^ Never was a Ibanaz player to begin with but that aside... I am totally into Solar these days. Used to play my good old DBZ Bird of Prey. That is one beast of guitar. But after a long time I decided to get me a new main guitar and the Solar V1.6FR. It's pretty great. And really looks badass. (Not quite as unique as a Bird of Prey, but still not your common flying V either.)
Congrats ! That is one beautiful guitar
Amazing, super excited for you Bernth, my bank account, however, is not. Perhaps I just worry about that part later! I've wanted an Ibanez amongst my guitars, it is looking like the time. Congrats!
Amazingly on par with the guitars that I've been chasing lately. May I ask about the Fishman's, are the the same voicings as the Tosin Abasi pickups? I recently installed these on a guitar and really like them now that I added a tone knob. My only gripe with that guitar is the lack of a whammy, so you have peaked my interest.
Awesome and good job!! Yeah, that knob problem. I always thought that was my fault and something is wrong with my picking. It got a little better after switching to a closed hand approach but I'm still killiing the volume on my single pickup jackson... On one of my Jacksons there is a also a pull poti where I can run the humbuckers on one coil only. Very cool feature.
Congratulations! Can’t wait to check it out.
When will this be available at german retailers?
Looks amazing!!
